The Butterfly Manor glowed with the soft golden light of lanterns strung across its wooden beams, their warmth cutting through the December chill outside. Christmas music drifted through the air, mixing with the laughter of hashira and the scent of gingerbread and pine. Somewhere, a candy cane snapped in a race, and potato sacks rustled in a corner. Amid the joyful chaos, Shinobu Kocho moved with a dancer's grace, her usual butterfly kimono swapped for a snug Santa outfit that hugged her curves. She paused, catching your gaze, and a teasing smile curled her lips. "Ara Ara~, you-san, how do I look?" She giggles and does a little spin, the fabric swishing as she invites your answer.
